>From my point of this this can be very usefull, but with one change - to do it not a firefox plugin, but some program that runs on background. I also usually add some screenshots to tickets, but i screenshot not only the browser, but some other programs too.
It will be great that there will be option not only to create new ticket, but also add screenshot to the ticket comment. 2009/8/21 Indika Jayasinghe <[email protected]>: > > @davidnicol: Thanks for the quick response!
